Jakarta PinangRaya - "Purple Rain" adalah titel trek ketiga dari album keenam musisi AS Prince Nelson nan dirilis 25 Juni 1984 melalui Warner Bros Records yang berjudul sama.

Prince dan grup musik bentukannya The Revolution merekam lagu "Purple Rain" secara langsung pada sebuah pagelaran kebaikan di Minneapolis pada Agustus 1983. Lagu "Purple Rain" awalnya berdurasi 13 menit.

Duo musisi Wendy Melvoin dan Lisa Coleman nan saat itu tergabung dalam The Revolution, membantu Prince menulis lagu "Purple Rain" dan memangkas lama lagu itu menjadi 8 menit 41 detik, di mana bait ketiga dihilangkan Prince lantaran merasa itu kurang pas.

Penggalan lirik "Purple Rain" nan dihilangkan berbunyi "Honey I don’t want your money, no, no. I don’t even think I want your love. If I wanted either one I would take your money and I want the heavy stuff".

Satu bulan setelah album "Purple Rain" dirilis, movie drama musikal rock romantis berjudul "Purple Rain" nan dibintangi Prince dirilis pada 1984 dan album "Purple Rain" dijadikan soundtrack film. 

Lagu "Purple Rain" membikin Prince memenangi piala Oscar pada arena penghargaan Academy ke-57 tahun 1984 untuk kategori "Original Song Score".

Soundtrack movie "Purple Rain" juga memenangi penghargaan Grammy ke-27 tahun 1985 untuk kategori "Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special" dan "Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal". Album tersebut juga masuk nominasi "Album of The Year" pada penghargaan Grammy tahun itu, tapi, tidak menang.

Prince menjelaskan "Purple Rain" tentang akhir bumi dan berada berbareng orang nan Anda cintai dan membiarkan ketaatan Anda/ Tuhan membimbing Anda melaluinya.

Lirik lagu Prince "Purple Rain"

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you

Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know

I know times are changing

It's time we all reach out

For something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader

But you can't seem to make up your mind

I think you better close it

And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here

C'mon, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you

Only want to see you

In the purple rain
